To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions
and warnings.

instructions in this manual.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs and hot pads or oven mitts.
Cover and measuring/butter cup become hot during operation.

• Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.

• Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance

malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. For service information see
warranty page.

• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may
cause injuries.

• Do not use this appliance outdoors.

• Do not let cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

• To disconnect, turn any control to “OFF,” then remove plug from wall outlet.

• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric

parts in water or other liquids.

• Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.

• A popper that is plugged into an outlet should not be left unattended.

• This popper will not shut off automatically. To avoid overheating, add popcorn

kernels before operating.

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

• Longer extension cords are available, but care must be excersized in their use.
While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one,
ensure that the marked electrical rating of the extension cord is equal to or
greater than that of the appliance. If the plug is of the grounded type, the
extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. To avoid pulling, tripping
or entanglement, position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the
edge of the counter, table or other area where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.

Cup

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug
in any way.

• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or
extension cord feels hot.

• During use, do not remove cover. Do not remove cover or measuring/butter cup
from the appliance until you have not heard a kernel pop for at least 1 minute.

• For household use only.
